Maria del Mar - Camp Director
I am grateful to be Costa Rican, and I always thankful for being given the chance to share such an amazing life full of beautiful colors, nature and epic waves.
Things happen for a reason and through Del Mar surf camp myself and my friends are able to make dreams come true.
My life is filled with love and unforgettable moments that give me the desire to introduce my country to more chicas and enjoy every second of my life as if it is the last.

Lacy

My work as a Yoga Instructor and a free-spirited Kinesiologist inspired my journey to the Costa Rica in 2006… I am now blessed to call it home. Through yoga, I had the honor of meeting our fearless leader: Maria Del Mar and it was she whom introduced me to the spectacular sport and spirit of surfing.

In my experience, yoga and surfing are perfectly combined adventures; each requiring presence, patience, perseverance and above all, practice!

I am privileged to work with a group of individuals who together, share a common goal: the passion to live a life filled with health, activity and fun!
Del Mar Surf Camp is the ideal opportunity to experience Costa Rica : the beauty of the country and

the rich authenticity of its culture and of its people.

I am delighted to show and to share with you - a slice of surf, sun and soul.
Namaste.
